The Brooch
part2
*******************
"What the hell is going on here!!!"
"Asuka, wait... uhhhhmmm....whoa...." before I could try to explain to Asuka what was going on, Rei had already pulled me along leaving Asuka fuming. She at one point tried to chase after me but she suddenly hesitated then hastily ran off towards the opposite direction. She, in her hurry, even almost stumbled on a rock that stood on her way. I felt like laughing, but the look she had on her face scared me. It was unlike any I've ever seen, It was angier than usual, she seemed hurt for some reason, as to why however, i do not know........
As soon as we reached the door to Rei's Apartment, the urge to ask her for the reason behind her actions finally broke free.
"Rei, what is going on here??? why did you bring me her??? what.."
"You are not to have contact to anybody" she said sharply, cutting me off, preventing me from questioning her further.
"Contact with people you know is especially prohibited, the time to do so will come soon enough, and so will the answers to the questions you may have".
After saying those words she quickly turned her back and left the apartment once more.
I was left confused, very confused, I very much wanted to use force and finally get the answers that i know i rightfully deserved, its my life dammit!! she can't do this to me!!
But something stopped me from doing so.......
the fact that i am a coward, a spineless doormat that everybody uses to wipe their feet with, a fukin loser!!! i hate it!! my hands began to form a fist, the desire to release my rage was great, but the courage to do so was gushing away as fast as the build up of my anger. So i end up unclenching my fist, then clenching it once more.
I was suddenly snapped out of my trance when i hear the door clicking,
"Forgive me Shinji" Rei said flatly, as if she were just reading those words out of a cue card
"But I cannot risk you running off again...."
--------------------------
I've been locked in here for an hour now, I've explored the place from head to toe now, and since the apartement is small, i've already done so four times. The place is really quite weird, just like the tennant. Her cabinet only contained 3 changes of clothes, don't get me wrong, i wasn't going through her stuff of some kind of kinky reason, i just opened it for science's sake! yeah that's it, i only did it coz i was bored and curious.
But it really suprised me because the cabinet is huge, and from what i can tell is relatively new. I even saw with the tag that was still attached to it. Why buy a really big cabinet, only to stack it with 3 change's of clothes. Wait there's more I see that she stacked up w/ a lot of instant noodes, you know the kind that needs 3 min. to prepare..The strange thing is she's got no thermos, or a stove to heat water, or water for that matter. I checked the faucet, but all that i've got from the effort is a sore finger(from twisting the really rusted faucet, obviously, it have not been used in quite a while) and a squeking sound from the faucet, but no H2O. I wanted to analyze the apartment more, just by looking at it i knew that there are a lot more inconsistences around but i got tired and decided to just lie back and sleep.
Sleep did not come as i had hoped, even though i am honestly spent, thoughts bombarded my head preventing me to do so. First there's Rei, the word weird kept floating around my head as i thought of her. I soon realize that moments ago, i was not mad at her... Shes got the looks that make you forget anger, even though she was the one who ignited it. With that cleared i realized that the reason for my anger, as i said, was not Rei, it was me. Yes, i hate myself......
Everything in my life seem to steadily go worse, the last happy memory i have was the one with my mother, and that was when i was just 4, the 10 years after that was pure sadness. Our school's guidance councilor kept telling me not to blame myself, mother's death was not my fault, and my father's negligence is inexcusable. But that meant nothing to me, maybe i'm scarred, i don't know...... All i know is that this is the reason im a coward, the reason i run, the reason i hate myself... And what Rei did reminded me of who i am, and that reminded me of my hate for myself.............
I slowly switched position and laid to my side, when "Owwww" somthing hard piecing through my ribs. I got up took it out and realize that i still had Asuka's Brooch.....
Flashes of her Inflamed face then came to me......
That anger from her was new to me, it made me.....umm uncomfortable......
Well, i've got to return it!! i said to myself, it it the right thing to do.
"Sorry Rei, I know you may have a reason for keeping me here, but i have to go...."
so I opened the window and by using my belt, i rappelled down, to the next floor, which luckily had a opened window which lead to this floor's corridor. Damned! that stunt scared me to death, coz while doing so my left foot slipped and if the belt had not been strong enough, i may have plunged down. With that done i just simply went down the stairs and left the building, with a huge scab in my left arm that is..
-----------------------
It was already dark when i started to venture into the streets, I was surprised, I did not realize that so much time had already passed. And that really got me thinking, i had just missed a month of my life, a month seems such a short time when your living it, but when you've missed it, it seems like you've wasted so much time. I wonder what happened while i was..... asleep? i dunno.... Did anything change while i was gone? Oh wait! it's only a month!! What could happen in a month?? But then a thought came to me..... a month, a lot could happen in a month; it only takes a second for something to happen, and there are a lot of seconds in month.........
I decided to check out what happened at home first. Well i really don't think of it as home, because a home is a place with love, a place of acceptance, a place you go to when you've got no where else to go.
My home. When i finally got home, nobody was there, as usual. My uncle's probobly out gambling. I often wondered why, of all people, would my father leave me in the care of the most irresponsible bum i know.The man could barely take care of himself, much more raise a child. Ever since i came to live w/ him 9 years ago, i had to learn to do stiff in the house like cleaning, cooking, the laundry, etc. I could not trust my uncle to do these chores, if i had relied on him i would have already rotten.
As I reached for the key in my pocket, I cought a glimpse of somethging by the garbage......That's my stuff!!! the asshole of an uncle of mine must have thrown it out!!! UGHHH!!! I got so pissed off, well sorry if i suddenly dissappeared for a month but he actually threw my stuff out?? Damn asshole!!! I rummaged through my stuff and find what i could salvage, shit!! He broke my computer!! that took 2 years allowance dammit!! placing all my salvaged stuff in my bag w/c he too threw out, i went away, swearing never to return.......
'I could live alone' I thought as i wondered the streets. I could get a part time job, plus my father does send me some money through my bank account.
"Shinji!!!"
"That you man??!!"
"Huh??" as i turned around I found my friend Touji and Kensuke, they seem to just have exited the seven-eleven by the corner..
"Hey where have you been man!! And what's w/ the luggage"Touji started
"Yeah, you've been gone for a long time, and nobody knew where you were" Kensuke followed
"Ummm, I don't know...... "
"You know...Hikari told me about what happened w/ Asuka this morning..."Touji said to me whilst nudging me at the sides
"You the man, Shinji!!"
"Hey when did this happen??" Kensuke ask
"I just said 'this morning' you idiot!!!" Touji responded
"No, i mean you and Hikari!" teased Kensuke
Touji blushed at the comment, kensuke and me laughed at the sight of him turning red.....
"Shut up, Shinji you're not getting away from this, comeon spill it!"
"It's a long story......"
"We've got time" Kensuke said "let's talk about it while we eat, you hungry??"
My stomach then growled soon after, answering Kensuke's question.
"Great" Touji then said "let's go to that ramen stand near here..."
So I told my friends what happened, from the time i was on my way home last month, to the dumping of my stuff in the garbage. It was hard to eat and talk at the same time so I had to stop eating at some point. When i finished telling my story, silence followed and i started eating again. My soups gotten cold.... was my story that long???
I haven't noticed how silent things where until Kensuke started talking again.
"So you got a place to stay???"
"Umm, No actually..."
"Great, Touji and me just got this apartment a few blocks from here...He needed a place closer to the hospital where his sister is staying, and my parents just got assigned somewhere for their jobs, so me and touji been bunking together since last week, there's one room left, it's perfect man!!"
"Yeah man!! we're gonna be roommates!! That is so cool!!"
"Umm, Thanks guys......"
-------------------------------
"This is the place" Touji said after opening the door
"Your rooms up ahead, mine's next to yours, and Touji's next to mine. Bathrooms across your room, So welcome home my friend"
"Thanks again guys.....Mind if i take a walk after i put my stuff in my room??"
"Yeah sure, let me my coat, its getting cold out there..."
"Hey wait up, kensuke lend me coat would you?? mine's still in the cleaners"
"No way!! the last time You borrowed my stuff, you returned it w/ catsup all over it!!"
"Ohh give me a break!!! Its cold out there!!"
"Ummm, could you guys ummm I kinda wannna go alone....."
"Ohh, yeah sure..."
"Hey Shinji!! catch!! Get a duplicate for that key for yourself" kensuke said while tossing me the key to the apartment..
"Yeah sure, might as well"
So after after getting my a coat from my bag I went out again...
------------------------
"Could you make me copy of this please.."
"Sure Kid...." The man in the counter said, I was really thankful that the place was still open, Had I been 5 minutes late I would not have made it.
"Here, pay at the cashier" He said after handing me the key and the copy.
I paid for the copy and left the shop.
As I walked out of the shop I nearly bumped into someone. Luckily i was able to regain my balance by hanging onto the shops door, the other side however was not so lucky.
"Watch where your going you moron!!!!"
"Oh, sorry.......Asuka???"
